Editor's Note #81
The pre-Gen Con editor's note!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:38:24
We are experiencing physical and psychic aches and pains! A variety of different damage types have been dealt to us! Thus is the way just before Gen Con. I explain "chin tucks" which makes for terrible radio, but here and here are some better explanations! Tuck your chins! (Unsurprisingly, I'm super into people having healthy spines — even more so than would be typical for your average spine-haver!) We, uh, also get into talking about Taco Bell? Look, it's the week before Gen Con, OK?
Here's the upcoming schedule:
Tuesday, August 6th: No episode: we’re at Gen Con
Tuesday, August 13th: The Gen Con Live Show!
Tuesday, August 20th: Editor’s Note #82
Tuesday, August 27th: Episode #291 - Creative Process: Benchmark Foes
Then, we answer questions, from far and wide! From letters and from chats!
Next week will be our last episode before our lil Gen Con break! It'll be Episode #290 - Writers' Room: "A Time of Peace". Get your questions in for it!

Customer Reviews
Must-listen for Sentinels fans, and great for creatives!
(Updated from original review in Feb 2017.) For those of us who enjoy the characters and lore of Sentinels of the Multiverse, Sentinel Tactics, Sentinel Comics RPG, and other games from Greater Than Games, this podcast with the creators is amazing! In addition to all the backstory and reveals it provides, Christopher and Adam are (as always) fun and entertaining to listen to. Their love of the Multiverse they have created is apparent in the energy and attention they provide, here, and make this a wonderful experience! For many of the fans, having the ability to directly ask questions is the best part, as all the theories and conjecture from years of online discussions are being addressed! In addition, it's an impressive experience to hear two creators bouncing off of each other, how they work, and how those results come to fruition, making it a potential learning experience for other creatives, be it in game design, fiction writing, art, etc. As the story has been told, the podcast has transitioned beautifully through various states, maintaining its wonderful story telling while continuing to entertain throughout -- and allowing its listeners to be involved more and more as time goes on.
Always Surprised
I started collecting Sentinels of the Multiverse items in early 2018, and this podcast has more than doubled my appreciation for the characters and stories in the game. Whenever I start listening to an episode that I think is about a boring hero or villain, I come away thinking how awesome their story is. Christopher and Adam, you guys are super cool, and it’s been awesome joining you on this journey to the multiverse and beyond.
A great podcast
I’ve been playing Sentinlas pf the multiverse since the first Kickstarter and love the game. But this podcast adds so much depth to the game. It’s also great story telling. I highly recommend it for fans of the game and fans of good story telling.
